BecomeUseful is…

…a website to promote and present the works and ideas of Soi Transnational.

Soi Transnational is…

…a small group of artists organized around Soi principals. Soi Transnational is characterized by a passion for reason, a tendency towards ultra-portability/travel and a love of the macabre.  

Soi is…

…a philosophy developed to help artists collaborate, automate and survive. Loosely organized around a handful of basic principals Soi emphasizes productivity (improving through practice), clear communication and being useful.

Groups that adopt the Soi model are referred to as pods and designated with a sequential number. Pods often organize around a specific mission, idea or style  and work collaboratively to develop the technique, capacity and proficiency of its members. Group roles are temporary, specific to projects and negotiated in advance. Problems that arise in a project are addressed in the next project.
